automobile tires is between 24 and 45 PSI. Light
truck inflation pressure typically covers a wider
range.
Routine Maintenance
A. Keep work surface clean. Pay special attention
to the top of the machine.
Workspace Requirements
Air Source
The RC100 requires a 5 CFM air source at 150 PSI.
The safe operating pressure range is between 110
PSI and 175 PSI at the machine. For motorcycle
and ATV tires, this pressure should be regulated to
90-100 PSI at the machine.
The unit is furnished with a 1/4" pipe thread male
fitting for easy connection. This connection is
located on the right side of the rear of the
machine. A 1/4" ID hose (or pipe) for connection to
the machine is satisfactory. Sufficient air pressure
assures good performance.
Floor Mounting
The machine may be mounted to the floor if
desired. Use suitable anchors in the mounting
holes at each corner of the machine.
